"Just the Facts, Ma'am."

Callicott, J. Baird

Environmental Professional, v9 n4 p279-88 1987

Discusses some of the problems associated with the differences between facts and values, particularly when dealing with environmental issues. Argues that, as people learn more facts about the environment, they acquire more of an ecological world view, resulting in a broader consensus on issues and environmental policy. (TW)
